Please respond to
WhatsUp_Forum
I agree with the first point. But my WUG service account uses the
administrator account on my local domain. It has no knowledge of the other
domain at all (no trusts in place). All it knows is there is a host with an
IP address and a route to find that IP address. It doesn't know anything
about the domain that the remote server belongs to, yet I can still monitor
a service that presumably logs on using the local machine service account,
not any form of domain account.
I don't know how or why it works it just does, and obeying the first rule
of
IT (if it works, don't mess with it) I'm happy to leave it there.

In setting up the WUG Service, you put in a user name and password that can
access the Exchange services, or you login with an account of the same
privaleges and execute the WUG program. The WUG program you launch will
have the same privaleges as those you login with. A trust relationship
works, moving the WUG server to the same domain or creating a specific
account for this on all the machines involve works.
The easiest is the trust relationship.

I've just tested using a test service checking the Server service on a
remote box (no exchange on it, so Ican't test whether the same would be
true
there). On the face of it you don't need to enter any account names or
passwords. Presumably, WUG just send a test string to the service name on
the server and waits for a response. As long as it gets one, it's happy. If
it doesn't get the expected response, it presumably reports the service as
down. If you set it to restart the service it presumably sends a net start
servicename to the server. Again you presumably don't need accounts and
passwords as this is all set in the service startup parameters.
On the face of it, you just need to create custom NT services for the
exchange services you want to test, then enable them for the server you
want
to check.

I haven't tried it, but would guess that using a login name in full domain
form, such as \\domain\administrator
might allow you to use the other domains admin account and password from a
machine logged in to your local domain.
Otherwise, with trusts it should work also.

I'm curious on this as well.

Thanks in advance.
Using WUG 6.02 and trying to monitor the up/down status of the MS Exchange
service on an NT server on a remote LAN. The target Exchange server is on
a
different IP-subnet, in a different NT domain, from the WUG monitoring
server. Can this be done using the NT Services plug in? Do I need to set
up interdomain trusts?
Any tips, comments, or warnings would be appreciated.
